Abstract

The process of handoff in wireless heterogeneous networks allows the maintenance of the mobile user connectivity in order to keep it continuously connected and in the best network available. This maintenance depends on the selection of an access point for connection transference. The decision methods analyze the performance, quality of service and security characteristics of access points in order to select one for the handoff. However, the methods presented in literature consider security superficially and does not analyze its distinct properties, which may lead to risky choices and prejudice the user. Besides, the lack of information about the decision criteria may cause failures in the transition process. This work presents a method that assists the decision making in the transition process to provide safe decisions based on the confidentiality risk to the communications through the access points and the lack of information. The evaluation results show the precision of the method on the less risky choices and it is insignificant impact on the transition performance.
